YAY!! GO KARIN!
I myself am not the biggest "Poughkeepsie" fan, but I was at the Pittsburgh
show that the mp3 rarity came from, and listening to it sorta brings back
warm memories. I met the now absent Jessyka at that show. Regardless, I'd
never dream to suggest that you stop playing it. It's the kind of song the
changes (or even saves) lives.
As for LBR/In the Garden- please keep on playing it! It is very moving and
spiritual. (I'd have worried about your artistic direction, in fact, had it
not been on FFR, after axing "A Gospel Number" and all.) Plus it has a real
power and passion in a live setting that the studio recording only teases
the listener with. I dig Jack's slide work!
Please continue singing these as long as doing so brings you joy. As long
as you are making music to please yourself, and not a "target demographic"
or somesuch, you will make music of lasting value and integrity. But then,
you know that already.
Thanks for reading,
